Instrument Transformer
(OP)
Can some one help me in finding a method in calculating the core size of a 50w EI type instrument transformer. The relavent standard is IEC 61558.

For a crude rule of thumb, about 4W/sq.cm

RE: Instrument Transformer
In other words, Current and Voltage meassurement transformers are Instrument Transformers.
So, rukmal's question is hard to answer. For low voltage and current transformers I dare to give yo some hints:
For voltage transformers it's useful to begin overdimensioning it with a rated voltage 50 to 100% higher and a rated current 5 or 10 times higher. This first attemp should be prototype tested and according to the objective accuracy some corrections may be implemented (increase of secondary number of turns, for instance).
Current voltage design is much more complicated. Standard EI cores are not advisable at all for such purpose. Special iron is to be used performing very high magnetic properties (permeance) and very low iron losses. If accuracy is not to be very high, same advices as for VT are to be considered.
